Thought I'd share a few pics for those that could not make it - http://www.not606.com/album.php?albumid=518 Great day out and really enjoyed it to be honest. Despite having to sit with the Derby fans and suppress my delight at the goals it was really enjoyable. Terrible turn out from the Derby fans with hundreds of empty seats which was annoying as I know lots of Stokies wanted these seats and could not get them. Stoke scored too early for me and then sat back. Derby were never a threat whatsoever and played some neat passing football but that was about it. I don't really recollect more than 2 shots on target from them. The gulf in premiership and championship was there to see and we bullied them all over the park. I actually thought we were going to get a sending off as all bar Wilson at the back got booked. Crouch had a bit of a stinker and had the Derby fans on his back which is why I think TP eventually took hm off. Great result though and a good days work for TP and the lads. Bring on a home game against another lower division club and pair Liverpool with Spurs or Chelsea and I'll be a very happy man! I have to say though that Pride Park was an amazing ground compared to the Brit. All sides filled in it was warm and comfortable with a built in Starbucks and Greggs. You could actually buy soup and a bap at half time from little vending carts without having to queue all through half time in a massive bunch of fellow supporters only to miss the second half kick off. Coates should take some notes from their set up!
Fair comments, i also liked the ground. except the ticket said i was stair 58 when my block was 52 :/ haha! i would like an away draw against a lower division league! away days tend to be more fun than home games at the moment!!! surprisingly!
Thanks for the pics. Looks to be great weather up there today. Looks better than Gillingham! Where next Crawley?
Thanks Waddo Great pics mate.. I have been to Derby twice and apart from Sunderland I would rate it higher than the Brit for style, view is fantastic too. Mine at the Brit is pretty much perfect for me. But the location of their ground, ease of parking etc is first class. For me, a home tie v Crawley would be a cracker please.
